A new tour is preparing to make its mark on the African poker scene. The African Poker Championship (APC) will hold its first-ever festival at Le Grande Casino in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, running from September 24 through October 4.
The inaugural stop is backed by MJPT Global and aims to unite poker players from across the African continent while also drawing international interest. Organizers hope the tour will grow into a showcase for regional talent and a magnet for global competitors.
The festival’s headline event is the $1,000 APC Main Event, carrying a $200,000 guarantee. It will run from September 30 through October 4, featuring three starting flights: Day 1A on September 30, Day 1B on October 1, and a final Day 1C on October 2. Survivors move on to Day 2 on October 3, with the champion to be crowned the following day.
Players seeking a cheaper route into the Main Event can enter the $125 Super Satellite on September 25.
Beyond the Main Event, the schedule includes the $1,500 Grand Slam Mega Stack ($100,000 guaranteed) starting September 25, and the $300 APC DeepStack ($50,000 guaranteed) a day later. High rollers can test the $2,000 Single Day Mini High Roller ($50,000 guaranteed), the $5,000 Super High Roller on September 27, and the two-day $3,000 APC High Roller beginning September 29 with another $100,000 guaranteed.
Additional variety comes from the PigaBet Survivor Bounty series, Turbo and SuperStak formats, and a Pot-Limit Omaha event, the $300 Le Grande Bomb Pots Double Board, set for October 1.
